Hello !!
Id like to thank those, who responded to my questions in the previous thread and help me decide on my first NAS.
Ive decided to purchase the Synology DS920+
( id be hoping Synology announce an upgrade in the coming days before i make the dive )
Ive been browsing forums and videos related to NAS, but the lack of familiarity still leaves me with a few unsettled questions.
In regard to the initial setup:
The ISP provided router ( seems quite basic ) has been installed in the living room. My workstation would be in a room adjacent to the living room, separated by a wall.
I am left with 2 options here.
1) I could either install the NAS in the living room and connect it to a good mesh Router, while i access the NAS wirelessly at my workstation. The transfer speed is likely to drop.
OR
2) Would it be possible to run 2 ethernet cables from my NAS and connect it to a Netgear 5 port managed switch and link it with a satellite router If i were to purchase something like the Netgear Orbi 2 pack series ?
The priority would be good accessibility at the workstation, over plex in the living room.
Incase the above mentioned Option 2 be workable, is there any 2 pack mesh router that you might recommend in particular ? I would be looking for something in the starting range of the prosumer series
Thank You
